Remember the magnificent eucalyptus sentinel across the street from the Senior Center? The county said it was “unsafe,” not healthy, and “leaning.” So, it had to come down and a contract was issued to take it down and dismember the huge trunk and its limbs. This required two truck-mounted gantries and two crews to accomplish the overall task. Last week it was déjà vu all over again. The City of Coronado contracted with a tree removal company to take down two century-old eucalyptus trees on the diagnosis that they were unst... Full story

Dear Fallbrook Healthcare District and its Board of Directors, I am disappointed with the Fallbrook Healthcare District’s lack of actions to continue the operations of the Fallbrook Hospital. The Fallbrook Hospital District received tax funds and operational income to operate Fallbrook Hospital itself. It ran the hospital until its results were not sufficient to continue operations. CHS was given a lease by the district to continue hospital operations. The district was informed that it would have to provide for earthquake s...
Let’s get on board again. This time anything will be better than what we have in the White House presently and Mitt Romney is what this country is desperately needing. A responsible, experienced leader with morals, ethics, and a backbone. Let’s take back the U.S.A. before it is diminished beyond repair. Those with your hands out to government, wake up and realize that subsidies and freebies are not the sole reason to cast your vote. Marianne Doty...

Ramona was able to capitalize on the mistake and drove down the field with good running and passing to score the first touchdown. Fallbrook’s coaching staff made several adjustments to counter and on R...

Fallbrook High School head football coach Kyle Williams blames himself for the scope of the Warriors’ 47-7 loss September 26 at home against El Camino. “I didn’t do a good job of making adjustments on defense,” Williams said. It could be said that the adjustment of some defensive players to two-way roles due to injuries to offensive players was a cause of El Camino’s continued success. “Eventually fatigue became a factor in the second half,” Williams said. The use of those...

SAN DIEGO COUNTY – The statistics are startling and eye-opening. But dispelling one common myth could be the key to preventing thousands of older San Diego County residents from showing up in local emergency departments and doctors’ offices each year after suffering fall-related injuries. Every year, an estimated 122,000 San Diego County residents over the age of 65 will fall and more than 12,000 of those older adults will arrive at a hospital for treatment, according t... Full story
